Contest 194: Build me a fire
A fine marble fireplace. But what's this? An electric fire? That will never do. I'd like a real log effect in here, please. Unless you can think of an alternative way of heating this room? High res is here.  |

Re: Contest 194: Build me a fire
Hello all, New member here, long time admirer of the book and weekly contest though! Thought I would give it a shot, be kind, I know I didn't play around with the lighting, but I did give my first go at any sort of reflection! http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67/philsteere/fireplace_big1copy.jpg Also, how the hell do you post the picture to come up in here directly? I tried the [IMG] tags! |

Hi Philbo, Welcome to the forum. To get an image posted directly just flatten your original, go to Image>Size and make the longest side around 600 - 750 pixels. Then go to File>Save For Web and adjust the quality until you get it just under 100K. Then just sign on and post the attachment with your missive. Gordon |

I couldn't possibly compete. All the efforts so far have been far superior - I would have forgotten the reflection no doubt as well. |

Hi Neil, You still have the electric flex under the fire. Like the flames, though. |

Re: Contest 194: Build me a fire
How very cozy these have all been! It has been record breaking cold here- I started whilst snow was on the ground (west of Seattle Wa. us in the banana belt no less) so playing with fire was a pleasure.  |
